Between trying to keep up with posting on Instagram and Facebook and Flickr and Vine, this poor little blog is getting the shaft. Here are some of our favorite moments from January:

This big kid has been hanging around our house a lot lately. I keep asking him what he did with my baby but I can't get a straight answer out of him.

I did a one day juice fast / cleanse to start off the year with a clean start. I loved it and can't wait to do it again and go for three days. If you're interested in juicing (okc local or not), you should totally check out Vidya Cleanse.

Sammers enjoyed several playdates with his good friend Cooper. The boys are so sweet together.

Samuel still loves to be read to and has even memorized several off his favorite books so he can read them to us! Included in his repertoire right now are Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You Hear?, Hop on Pop and Go Dog, Go!

Hayden Michelle turned three years old in January and celebrated her birthday, princess style. Since Sammy doesn't have any specifically princely gear, we went for dapper.

Sammers and Ivy are so adorable. They always stick close to each other and have a great time together - I'm only partly kidding when I say that I've started working on their wedding slideshow...

Many, many, many hours were spent decorating his rocket ship:

Every day Sammy gets more talkative, more funny, more entertaining - he's hilarious and adorable and we treasure every minute we get with him!

"pwaydoh head!"

Mindy and I took a one day trip to Plano to hit up Ikea to stock her up with supplies for Guam...and then we pampered ourselves with blowouts at drybar and a mommies-only delicious dinner.

Other highlights this month include Wiser's foray in the world of dad bloggers - here are links to his FIRST and SECOND post.

Sammers wasn't sure what to think of the great big flakes at first - he just stood in a little corner of the yard and told us "snowing, play snow, snowing, play snow," but without really doing any of the playing part.

He's always so tolerant of the paparazzi ;)

So we got the sled out and we started sledding down the driveway.

Once Sammers finally figured out the play part, he did not want to come inside!

So....my baby brother got married. The ceremony and reception were out at the family farm and it was surreal and wonderful and gorgeous and perfect. The whole weekend was truly a group effort - everyone pitched in and made it a super-fantastic event. It totally could be featured on one of those wedding-stylist-diy-blogs. And of course there was a photobooth - it wouldn't be an official wedding without one ;)
